My husband and I went out with Captain Scott yesterday and had a blast. Captain Scott was very informative. It is obvious that he loves what he does. We saw dolphins and a flock of white pelicans. Capt. Scott even gave us some local recommendations which we will definitely check out.

"Great adventure out at sea"

This was by far an awesome experience. The speed boats are so fun and easy to use. As first timers, we were out speeding across the ocean in less than 15 minutes. The entire tour and route was clearly planned out and Captain Simon made the ride that much more fun with his conversations, fun facts and keeping us safe. He definitely is a great tour guide. We would love to come back and do this again when we return to Tampa.
